INGREDIENTS
- Whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) – 1 1/4 cups
- Gond (edible gum) – 1/2 cup
- Powdered sugar – 3/4 cup
- Dessicated or powdered coconut – 1 tablespoon
- Cardamom powder – 1/4 teaspoon
- Ghee – 5 tablespoons

- HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE WHEAT FLOUR AND GOND LADDO RECIPE
Coarsely grind the almonds, cashewnuts and pistachios to a powder. Keep it aside.
Heat ghee in a broad non-stick pan on medium flame. Deep-fry the gaund till they puff up. Drain in an absorbent paper. Set aside to cool down completely. Then crush them with your hand or grind it to a coarse powder in a mixer.
In the same pan, add wheat flour and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes on a low to medium flame. Fry till it leaves a nice aroma and slightly changes it colour. Switch off the flame and remove the roasted wheat flour to a mixing bowl. Let the roasted wheat flour cool down a bit. When it becomes lightly warm, add crushed gaund and mix well. Then add dessicated coconut and cardamom powder and combine together.
Lastly add powdered sugar and mix everything well.
Add chopped dry fruits and mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and mix again.
Shape into laddus, when the mixture is still warm. Store them in an airtight container.
NOTES/TIPS
Gond laddus stays fresh for a long time since there is no water content or milk added to it.
You can also roast gond and wheat flour with less amount of ghee to cut the unwanted calories.
